It seemed that things had escalated quickly. But for now, his word was law. Who was she to object?
Clad in Everett's clothes, she could faintly smell the scent of his tobacco. It was strangely comforting.
Maybe it was because the tension from earlier had eased, but her stomach started to growl at the most inopportune moment.
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.
"You haven't eaten?"
"I have." She was too embarrassed and didn't want to continue the conversation.
Everett didn't press further. He just glanced at his watch and said, "I've arranged for your mother to be in a VIP room. There's a nurse with her. The doctor will notify you when she wakes up. For now, come with me."
Dorothy was taken aback. "Where are we going?"
"To eat."
"I really did eat."
He smirked. His usually aloof and handsome face softened a bit. "Just keep me company."
Dorothy didn't dare object. She nodded. "Okay."
She watched as Everett turned and walked ahead. She hesitated for a moment before following him.
Did this mean that she had found a sugar daddy? So that was what it felt like to have a backer.
...
As Everett got into his car, Dorothy kept her head down, staring at her shoes, until she heard the steady breaths of the man next to her. She then cautiously turned her gaze to him.
He seemed exhausted. He leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.
He got out of the car first, and his phone started ringing. It was probably work-related.
Dorothy was unsure whether to follow him out of the car. She looked up and met the eyes of Everett's personal assistant.
"Ms. Sanchez, I was the one who returned your call earlier."
She forced a smile. "Ah… Thank you so much."
"That's my job. Mr. Lopez was in a meeting when I told him. He tried to call back but got no answer, so he rushed to the hospital right away."
Dorothy could see a hint of flattery in the assistant's eyes.
He must have misunderstood her relationship with Everett. He probably thought she was very important to him.
Not knowing how to respond, after a long pause, Dorothy awkwardly said, "Yeah, Mr. Lopez is a good guy."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
